finally getting some work done on the quarter panel armor. Template is done and looking spot on (ignore the tape haha) Now I just need to get a hold of some 1/8'' plate and some tube. They are going to have a slider bar running along the top just under the window line to keep trees from busting out glass

Nice wj, I really want to see this done. I thought about doing it but was scared to take that leap, but i think its great protection and will look sweet if its done right. How close are you to finishing the quarter-panel plate?

nope....no more work on it yet. My weekends have been swallowed up the past three weeks. Then next weekend Im supposed to go to a wedding, the following weekend ive got a wheelin' trip planned, then two weeks after that ill be in Florida for a week taking my son to the beach for the first time. I have so much work to do on the jeep and never any time......

well i did have a quick minute today while my son was napping. I was out in the garage cleaning up a bit and just decided to take a few driveway shots for the hell of it.....

oh, and since I had lost my "before" pics back when I first bought the jeep, I stalked this lady down...Its almost identical to the way mine looked stock. so this will be my "before and after" shot

I just received my tire carrier from detours today. Did you use a grade 8 bolt and lock nut to secure it into the hitch? If so, can you tell me the size and save me the trouble of measuring?

no.....i just used the bolt it came with that locks the wedge in. Once the wedge is tight, the carrier isnt going anywhere. Then I just used a normal trailer hitch pin as a back up in the event the wedge come loose. The pin just makes it quicker to take the whole thing off if I want, one less bolt to have to undo........
